the rest, only noise

Chapter 329: The Crazy Ellis

In the Knicks' offensive round, Louis expects to see a beautiful tactical offense.

Be flexible and have mobility.

However, what he saw was Ewing struggling to get a position, but due to lack of strength, it was difficult to get a deeper position.

Moses Malone coiled him out of the paint like an old tree.

"Hey! Patrick!" Louie asked loudly, "Li Zaigan?"

Still late, Ewing catches the ball.

The position outside the paint area, the 76ers' defensive mobility is very strong, he can't make too many steps, so turning around and drawing one by taking advantage of the height is the best choice.

He really did.

Ewing turned around and jumped up. Today, his shot is not the iconic, funny, funny, if you are his fan, you will have a headache when you see him shoot like this at a critical moment.

This is yet another proof that John Thompson is not a man.

Why did Ewing master the action of actively separating the assisting hand when throwing the ball?Shouldn't the assist hand always stabilize the ball?

The redundant action of separating the assisting hand will lead to unstable shooting.

As a result, as Louie predicted, Ewing's turnaround jumper missed.

"John, why did you give him the ball? Do you trust him so much? Do you think he can make the shot?" Louis taunted loudly, "He doesn't have that ability, don't you know?"

Malone seemed to be in collusion with Louis.

As soon as Louis finished cursing, he went on to say: "300 million a year, just like this, Moses is getting more and more unhappy! @￥#%!"

Ewing missed, and Stockton said to him: "It's over, let's play tactics from now on."

Ewing didn't say anything else, he really screwed up himself.

The 76ers' stupid tricks made Malone's heads-up failure, and they pushed their style of play to the most primitive direction.

Play style one, when you see Malone is about to get in position, shoot and let him grab the offensive rebound.

Rebounding is Ewing's weakness. If Oakley is on the court, the problem will not be so obvious, but if the partner is Ball, it will be bad.

In a matter of minutes, Malone racked up four offensive rebounds.

Another strategy is to increase the strength of the defensive end and let Dr. J play a comfortable rotation offense.

These are two effective strategies. The 76ers gradually caught up. After the first quarter, the two sides drew 25 to 25.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Louis played an amazing three-inner lineup.

Small forward AC Green, power forward Oakley, center Ball, and the outside players are Webber and Ellis.

Going to three inside lanes is equivalent to not having an offensive rhythm, and there is nothing to do with the 76ers' outside shots.

Fortunately, this is a team that averages no more than one [-]-pointer per game.

Also, they only have two players who can shoot long [-]s.

One is Cheeks and the other is Tony.

Tony is injured, and he no longer has the power of the Boston Strangler, Cheeks can't kill people.

On the offensive end, it all depends on Webber's strong breakthrough.

Oakley and AC frequently went to the flank pick-and-roll screens, and Ball was forgotten on the edge of the world.

Once he misses, there is a possibility of being counterattacked by the 76ers, so he will foul decisively.

Louie would rather let the 76ers go to the free throw line than give them a chance to counterattack and score.

The rhythm has been greatly reduced, and the game viewing is outrageous.

Tom Heinsohn complained: "This game is played like football, the pace is too slow."

"Who is better off slow?" Dick Stockton asked.

"It is undoubtedly the Knicks. Stopping the speed of the 76ers is an important reason why they cut the rhythm of the game into pieces, because if the 76ers are allowed to run, they have no chance of winning."

Stockton said clearly, "So, this is Little Lu's plan?"

"Yes, this is a guy who will do anything to win."

Louie is not at ease with the second unit on the field, none of whom are familiar with the Knicks' current system.

Webb only plays the plays he remembers, the inside cooperates numbly, and only AC can accurately pick and roll and screen.

Dale Ellis is an anomaly on the court, only he is running for three-point opportunities.

The 76ers asked Dr. to watch him.

However, it was easy for Alice to get rid of the doctor.

His running position is greatly underestimated, and the doctor's defense is overestimated because of luxurious statistics.

Ellis is an elite off-ball runner, and the Doc is a lazy off-ball defender.Ellis ran up, coupled with his teammates' wing cover, hung up the doctor, and the 76ers hadn't changed their defense yet.

Opportunity is at a 45-degree angle to the right.

Ellis catches the ball.

"Shh!"

"Beautiful!" Louie said to Ewing off the court, "Did you see that screen just now? How handsome? Isn't it much better than your fucking Jiba asking for the ball in singles?"

Ewing said, "If you didn't yell on the sidelines, I would have made the shot!"

"You're fucking stubborn!" Louie scolded, "Your shit-like jump shot, can you catch one out of ten chances? If you're sure you can make it, I won't let you shoot it? Give me back your influence. There are tens of thousands of spectators at the scene. They don't affect you? If you fail, admit that you can't do it, don't make so many excuses!"

Tomjanovich dragged Louie, who was spraying more and more vigorously, and said, "Lu, Dale is crazy!"

Louis looked back and saw Ellis pulling up right in front of the doctor.

"Shh!"

"Again!"

"Dale Ellis scored three three-pointers in a row!"

"The 76ers requested a timeout!"

Stockton praised: "Alice is absolutely playing under Little Lu!"

Heinsohn laughed.

"Does anyone still remember that Little Lu traded Darnell Walker for Dell? The player who couldn't play in the Knicks, although he went to Dallas and performed well, is not at the same level as Dell's transformation in New York."

Last season, Ellis averaged 16 points per game. If you count his performance in the Knicks alone, he averaged 19.8 points per game.

After the timeout ended, Louis switched back to Stockton, and let him mainly play the weak-side pick-and-roll to create opportunities for Ellis.

Ellis is a silent shooter, he will not speak harshly, he is not inconspicuous, he can only run and catch the ball.

If he plays better defense, he's a perfect two.

Louie doesn't need Jordan Kobe's omnipotent No. [-], he just needs a defensive marksman.

Of course, if there is a chance to get Jordan or Kobe, Ellis should find a cool place to stay.

Replace Webb with Stockton, who can feed the ball better, and then replace Ball with Antoine Kyle, and AC will play the fifth position.

With a lineup of three big players and two small players, Louis dared to use it only when he met a team like the 76ers who had no range at all.

After Ball left the field, MSG fans cheered him no less than Ewing.

Currently playing 7 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound and 3 blocks, the court positioning is clear.

You can't expect him to score or catch rebounds, as long as he protects the rim, that's enough.

Louis continued to change formations, using the cards he could play to switch lineups, and relying on inside reserves to fight against Moses Malone.

Starting from Ellis' crazy throw, the Knicks took the initiative in this game.

In the first offensive round after Stockton came up, he dribbled the ball across the half court. Under his command, AC completed a pick-and-roll that was so wonderful that Louis grabbed Tomjanovich's clothes and wobbled.

That pick-and-roll actually overturned Bobby Jones.

Ellis calculated his steps accurately, stepped back from the three-point line, caught the ball, and shot, a shot that terrified the 76ers.

"Shh!"

"What a shot!!!"

Marv Albert's passionate chants got the MSG audience excited.

The fans who were tortured for a year last year saw the light.

Louie came to Ewing again and asked, "Did you see it? The charm of pick-and-rolls and screens, the essence of the N.UCLA system are all in that round!"

All Ewing wanted was a little offensive autonomy.

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry." Louie's characteristic is that he will enlighten like an angel after scolding, "I said you were wasting time in Georgetown for a reason. You should treat yourself as a freshman now. One day, you will get what you want, but now you must listen to me and do the most basic things well."

"Yes, coach."

Malone gets the ball and storms AC.

AC's size convinced Malone's teammates that he had an advantage in this round of matchups.

It does have an advantage. It is somewhat difficult for AC to withstand Malone's back attack.

However, the Knicks have three insiders on the field!
AC is only responsible for resisting, and the blocking is handed over to others.

Malone turned around and was about to attack, but the three-person attack from Kyle and Oakley arrived immediately, making the 76ers' offense impossible.

The only person Malone can choose to pass the ball to is Jones in the high post.

His vision is blocked by the defender, who can see Jones but not who is next to him.

Now that this was the case, he couldn't think more seriously.

Passing the ball is all he can do.

"Stockton Steal!"

The passing opportunity Malone saw was exactly the defensive trap laid by the Knicks.

The head coach of the 76ers, Guo Kass, was stunned. The defensive flexibility and seemingly chaotic traps were actually ambush traps, which often appeared when Louis coached the Celtics.

In his first season with the Knicks, Louie didn't seem to be bringing what he did with the Celtics.

So everyone thought it was because the Celtics players were strong enough that Louis could play those operations.

It's not the same thing now.

Within minutes, the Knicks led by 14 points.

The 76ers stopped the game.

Louis let Ewing, who had almost rested, play, replaced Kyle, and kept the three-inner lineup.

Kyle didn't enjoy playing enough, and Louis comforted him in time: "Don't relax, I have to use you later!"

"Yes, coach."

Tomjanovich found that the biggest difference between the Knicks' Louis and the Celtics was that they cared more about the players' emotions. Although it was still hard to hear people scolding, in Boston, it was impossible for him to take care of everyone.

This is his progress?Or another way of coaching?
